We here at FuzzyBot are incredibly excited to give you a closer look at our debut title, Lynked: Banner of the Spark! We can’t wait to finally get this game into your hands and are happy to announce that Early Access will begin on Steam starting Tuesday, October 22. Check out the new trailer we just unveiled at Gamescom Opening Night Live, below. If you like what you’re seeing so far, it will mean the world to us if you consider wishlisting [b][i]Lynked: Banner of the Spark[/i][/b] on Steam to keep up with the game as development continues.

Team up with other survivors and work alongside a ragtag collective of robot allies as you fight back against the Combots, an oppressive, hivemind-like network of machines who envision a world without organic life. Between missions, you’ll return to the safety of your town. This will be your base of operations where you will rally Unibot allies to join your resistance movement, as well as secure permanent upgrades that will give you an edge during forays into Combot territory.

You’ll need to dismantle them one by one in roguelite-inspired missions. Summon your inner acrobat to dash through their traps and dodge their attacks. Wield your grappling hook, called the Wyre, to grab and toss enemies, or to pull them in close for an introduction to your primary weapon. As you progress through more missions, you will learn to craft an arsenal of weapons from 10 different classes, each featuring a diverse set of upgrades to unlock and Spark Powers to employ against your robotic foes. During a mission, you’ll also discover new weapon class variants and mid-run upgrades that will bring variety to your combat style from one playthrough to the next.

Throughout your adventures, you will find and recruit a variety of Unibot allies to join your community and aid you with their unique skill sets. As your population grows, so will your options to build out and customize the town. Collect resources as you explore and take part in minigames, construct buildings where you can craft weapons and upgrade your gear, decorate the town to suit your tastes, or even do a little fishing.

Plan out your gear so that it will complement your allies during your next run. Then, work together to unleash devastating attack and ability combinations against your foes. After the mission is over, the three of you will return to your shared town where you can trade resources, craft, customize, or simply spend time hanging out together.
